When document image, come inject process liquid and ink composite with the resolving power of 1200dpi * 1200dpi and the quantity of ink of every 3pL.
On main scanning direction, spray 1 breadth line, 2 breadth lines and 4 breadth lines with one-pass mode with 1200dpi, thus the record linear image.
The sample for preparing with wherein on the solid image of printing ink 1, forming the solid image of printing ink 2 comes evaluate color reproducibility and erasibility.
When image recording, treatment solution is at first sprayed on recording medium from treatment solution splash head 12S with one-pass mode.Drying is applied to the treatment solution on the recording medium in treatment solution drying zone 13, makes the 900msec of treatment solution after beginning inject process liquid that is applied on the recording medium pass through the treatment solution drying zone in the time.In treatment solution drying zone 13; The opposite side (back side) that the surface of treatment solution is arranged from the injection of recording medium; The treatment solution that the heating of use ir heaters is sprayed is so that the surface temperature of the treatment solution that sprays maintains 40 ℃ to 45 ℃; Simultaneously, use gas blower through blowing the dry amount of 120 ℃ of hot blasts to obtain to be scheduled to of different air capacities, thus dry record surface.
Subsequently, in ink-jet portion 14, printing ink 1 is ejected on the dried treatment solution from ink gun 30A, and printing ink 2 is ejected on the printing ink 1 that has sprayed from ink gun 30B.At this moment, be set at 140 milliseconds from time period of ink jet 1 to ink jet 2, thus document image.
With with the similar mode of aforesaid treatment solution drying process; The opposite side (back side) that the surface of printing ink is arranged from the injection of recording medium; Use ir heaters to heat; Simultaneously, use gas blower to be the hot blast of 5m/sec 15 seconds through blow temperature to record surface be 120 ℃, air velocity, thus in ink setting district 15 that document image is dry.
After image dried, (use metal halide lamp, by Eye Graphics manufactured, the maximum illumination wavelength: 365nm), making accumulated dose is 3J/cm through irradiating ultraviolet light in uviolizing portion 16 2Thereby, image is solidified.
